Should not matter with a 4" lift... Just need the correct size blocks for the back.

Edit...

IIRC the springs on a F350 dually are the same as a F350 single...

I think someone is feeding you crap.

Be careful, I ordered leafs for my 01 f350 and when they arrived they were 1/2" narrower than what was on it. I called the guys in PA and they said yup, 8500+ snow and tow, you need a different spring. Told them up front I had a heavy 350, dually, snow pkg, tow pkg, crew, long box, Still got the wrong springs.

I would do rearched springs with the overload and a leaf removed, and air bags to hold it up. Much better ride than a blocked up truck.

What happens if the bags take a crap?

If I wanted a smooth ride I would buy a caddy...

Factory overloads, add-a-leaf and blocks. No issues, ever.
